Arsenal are making a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez their top priority this summer, according to multiple reports. The club is pushing for a quick transfer to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
However, Arsenal's reported interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has been rebuffed. PSG have made it clear that Barcola is not available for transfer this summer, ending any potential pursuit by the Gunners.
Julian Alvarez, who joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in 2024, has been a key player for the Spanish side. Arsenal see him as a versatile forward who can play across the front line, but Atletico are expected to demand a significant fee for the Argentine international.
As of July 13, 2026, no official bid has been confirmed, and negotiations are ongoing. Arsenal fans will be watching closely as the transfer window progresses.
